A pastoral scene titled "Labour en Cage" in deep burgundy transferware — French or Belgian, the maker's mark too worn to confirm, sold honestly as unattributed. Red and burgundy transferware turns up far less often than blue and white from this period, which makes it a useful change of colour against the rest of this collection rather than another variation on the same theme. Small chip to the rim.

We've done our best to photograph and describe each piece as accurately as possible — though with antique ceramics, a little craquelure and discolouring is part of the charm rather than a flaw to hide. Every piece is packed with the same care we'd want it to arrive with, and our shipping cost reflects that.
